CC* Cyber Team: Creating a Community of Regional Data and Workflow Cyberinfrastructure Facilitators

来自科罗拉多博尔德大学、犹他大学和科罗拉多州立大学的分布式数据和工作流程促进者团队(“CyberTeam”)作为落基山先进计算联盟(RMACC)的一部分，支持实验和观测科学(EOS)研究。数据集数量/多样性的进步要求增强访问、重用、处理、分析、理解、管理、共享和保存数据的能力。这些努力的一个关键方面是为涉及数据生成、数据分析、可视化和保存的高效工作流提供专家支持。通常，这些活动是由单个研究人员负责的，因此，其他人很难重复使用数据。同样，计算和数据生成工作流程通常是拼凑在一起的，是硬编码的，不容易共享。这些问题由分散的RMACC网络团队解决，他们将通过帮助该地区的研究人员重新使用和管理数据和工作流程来为他们提供支持。协调人拥有互补的技能和专业知识，并完全融入校园和区域努力。他们的重点是数据管理和元数据，以及数据和计算工作流，包括受保护的信息。这些促进者与该区域的其他机构合作，提供和开发区域共享资源，以支持小型研究小组和资源不足社区的数据管理，包括与区域管理和协调中心合作。

A distributed team of data and workflow facilitators ("cyberteam") from the University of Colorado Boulder, the University of Utah, and Colorado State University support experimental and observational science (EOS) research as part of the Rocky Mountain Advanced Computing Consortium (RMACC). Advances in the number/diversity of data sets require enhanced capabilities to access, reuse, process, analyze, understand, curate, share, and preserve data. A critical aspect of these efforts is to provide expert support for efficient and effective workflows involving data generation, data analysis, visualization, and preservation. Typically, these activities have been the responsibilities of individual researchers, and as a result, data can be difficult to reuse by others. Likewise, computational and data generation workflows are often cobbled together, hard-coded, and not readily amenable for sharing.These problems are addressed by the distributed RMACC cyberteam who will provide support for researchers in the region by assisting them with data and workflow reuse and management. The facilitators have complementary skills and expertise, and are fully integrated into campus and regional efforts. Their focus is on data curation and metadata, and data and compute workflows, including protected information. These facilitators, in collaboration with others in the region, provide and develop regional, shared resources to support data management for small research groups and under-resourced communities, including working with regional RMACC partners.
